Mountain town located to the north of the provinces, at the heart of the Sierra Norte Natural Park, a mid-mountain area with extensive dehesas interspersed with forests of holm oaks, cork oaks, gall oaks, chestnut trees, pines and elm trees; as well as the gallery forests along the rivers.

This location has the ideal conditions for animal species like otters, wild cats, wild boars, deer, fallow deer or mouflons. The land also has ideal conditions for raising cattle. The Rivera de Huéznar, passing through the municipal district, creates spots of exceptional beauty. Also in the district is the Cerro del Hierro, without doubt one of the most interesting and spectacular places in all of the Sierra Norte Mountains.

The centre, with simple traditional architecture, is a quiet place in harmony with the surroundings. The Church of S. Sebastián is one of its highlights.
